how to calculate anion gap
what is normal range for anion gap
Na - (Cl + HCO3)
8-12 is normal
> 12 (high anion gap)
causes of high anion gap metabolic acidosis
M: methanol U: uremia D: DKA P: propylene glycol I: iron tablets or INH L: lactic acidosis E: ethylene glycol S: salicylates (aspirin)
causes of normal anion gap metabolic acidosis
H: hyperchloremia A: Addison disease R: renal tubular acidosis D: diarrhea A: acetazolamide S: spironolactone S: saline infusion
what is distal renal tubular acidosis type 1
inability of alpha-intercalated cells to secrete H+ –> no new HCO3- is generated –> metabolic acidosis
what is proximal renal tubular acidosis type 2
defect in PCT HCO3- reabsorption –> increased excretion of HCO3- in the urine –> metabolic acidosis
what is hyperkalemic tubular acidosis (type 4)
hypoaldosteronism or aldosterone resistance –> hyperkalemia –> decreased NH3 synthesis in PCT –> decreased NH4+ excretion –> metabolic acidosis
what acid base disturbance can amphotericin B cause
distal renal tubular acidosis type 1
RBC casts in urine indicates
glomerulonephritis, hypertensive emergency
WBC casts in urine indicates
tubulointerstitial inflammation
acute pyelonephritis
transplant rejection
granular casts in urine indicates
acute tubular necrosis (can be “muddy brown”)
fatty casts in urine indicates
nephrotic syndrome (associated with “Maltese cross” sign)
waxy casts in urine indicates
end stage renal disease/chronic kidney disease
1st aortic arch derivative
part of maxillary artery
2nd aortic arch derivative
stapedial artery and hyoid artery
3rd aortic arch derivative
common carotid artery and proximal part of internal carotid artery
4th aortic arch derivative
left: aortic arch
right: proximal part of right subclavian artery
6th aortic arch derivative
proximal part of pulmonary arteries and on LEFT ONLY: ductus arteriosus
1st pharyngeal cleft derivative
external auditory meatus
